A decent ep, but it really lacked the dramatic intensity of the previous couple of eps. Everything that happened in this ep was necessary for the plot, but I can see why some people are a tad frustrated by the pacing, since ultimately it was more of the same stuff we had in the last couple of eps: K1 goes GAR, and convinces more and more people to join his cause in fighting against the bureaucracy for Satoko. I love the themes that are coming out of this arc, though, and how strongly they resonate with the story, eg strength though unity, fighting for comrades, and the power of protest, etc, etc. They're not really typical for anime, since we generally see one hero upending a battalion of bad dudes singlehandedly (yes, I know I'm generalizing). This is really grounded, in that sense.

Onibaba v K1 was a little disappointing since she was ultimately tsundere (must run in the family). I think it could have been better if it was two headstrong people going up against each other until one proved too unmovable for the other (like Shion v K1). I also thought there was too much light comic relief interspersed throughout this episode (Rena trying to multiply two by two, cowardly director, everyone laughing after the meeting with Onibaba, etc, etc). That, I thought, detracted from the atmosphere.

I dont mind K1XRena Paring but i think it might lead to whole new slew of deaths and misery. I mean look how she reacted when she didnt get the stuff animal from him. Maybe for the good of the town and for certain people to keep breathing there should be K1XMion paring which is still my favorite but i will admit K1 and Rena together the way they act and speak is so cute its should be considered a crime

The doll event doesn't happen in each "world", otherwise, Watanagashi/Meakashi would always happen (keiichi never gave the doll to Mion before Minagoroshi). The issue is more likely the fact keiichi didn't see her as a girl ("favoring Rena" is certainly not the problem) which lead Shion's "trigger".

But some pairing like this doesn't mean a huge clash as one might fear

HE LIVES i knew that it doesnt happen in every world. I just figured there was a chance of another event replacing the previous one. I guess maybe K1 sees Mion a little more like a girl in this world but i cant quite tell. Either way i like both parings.

@Sterling01 that would too much cuteness i dont think my mind could handel it lol

Mind you they took episode 13 (I beleive) off the air for a week or two and cancelled the series on at least one station due to a mixture of what they did have, School Days (its final episode was around the same week, thus the week of the "Nice Boat" incident) and a murder in Japan at that time.
